I didn't notice the Christmas music

[dand5780]

because I've been locked in to WBEN 930AM's non-stop coverage of the current events including in-studio minorities that defy the typical narrative of their listeners, had by folks on here.

WBFO should probably reevaluate itself.
They may have to, if NPR loses all funding. Someone on here said WBEN may not carry Rush, possibility for WBFO? Either that or Christmas music!

I'm sure Star doesn't miss you one bit.

Locked into WBEN? In-studio minorities? Did they defy the "typical narrative" of WBEN, or did WBEN simply find other voices for their echo chamber?

As Lincoln said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time..."

Yes you can. NPR couldn't fool these ones though.

Not about Star as much as the cesspool known as WBFO. I wonder how many on-air meltdowns were had on that station.

I'll listen to the Christmas music during the one hour a week of left wingnut worship service heard on WBEN. Although that program may need to reevaluate itself as well. I can't imagine it gets any listeners.

What are you talking about? The government stopped funding NPR over 30 years ago.

That "cesspool" has quality, mostly unbiased programming. Some are just to stupid to realize it.

"Left wingnut"? Typical knuckledragger. They're so vapid they use the Karl Rove tactic of repeating back what they've been called. It wasn't long after the left aptly referred to many on the right as "low information voters", the right started to echo it back.

Well wait a minute, is anyone actually interested anymore in Meeting the "Press" after the stunts they've pulled the past year? No. F. Chuck Todd should end his career along with all of the other so-called "journalists" that couldn't report what was actually going on. Or are they still trying to find that narrow path to victory? LOL

Because I could only listen and watch so many stations at one time, what they should do tomorrow from noon-1pm on the Voice of Buffalo is a compilation from ABC, NBC, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, CBS, and even FOX of all of their talking heads (not really journalists) reaction vs the hosts of WBEN that called this weeks ago.

Once again: What are you talking about?

Really? For the past few months to a year we've been hearing false reports from the lame stream media, most likely to try to sway an election.

So the brainwashed folks locked in to NPR, et al, you mean to tell me they are not going to wake up and switch the station? There was such a narrow path to victory for the republican candidate, so they said.

The cesspool does not have quality programming. The cesspool needs to undergo a complete reevaluation of their "news" department (which was bailed out by a big bank last week). On the WBFO site, it lists the 7 ways the election could go. 4 of them to Clinton, 1 very "narrow" path for Trump, 1 "big problem" for Trump, and 1 tie.

One of the good ones is Florida is a "must win" with 29 votes...he has "no path" without it. Unless my math is wrong, it's not a must win. The "Final NPR Battleground Map" has to be the biggest joke of the election season. Also the scenario "The Blue Wall Holds and Adds Bricks" with a total of 323 to Clinton. That's about 100 away from reality...

F. Chuck Todd is on WBEN now. I would advise WBEN to replace this disgrace of a show. No one in their right minds wants to Meet that Press. Do an hour of Christmas music if you have to.

Really? Are you trying to tell me that WBEN is not part of the media? That the #2 station in Buffalo isn't mainstream? Or that you were swayed by polls who said someone else was winning? Did the media NOT report that the FBI had re-opened it's investigation? Is that what you're saying?

 

[dand5780]

You're kidding?

If they were part of the mainstream/lamestream (and they are to an extent with the addition of ABC "news") they would have been reporting the same thing everyone else was 24/7. Many of them out in the field in other states came to a realization that what the lamestream was reporting wasn't what was actually happening.

 

[dand5780]

The #2 station? Well it's the #1 news radio station. It's maybe #5 after three tv stations and a rag.

They were. If you heard it on WBEN, then you were listening to mainstream media. Just because you like it doesn't mean it's not mainstream. And start getting used to the fact that there's no one left to blame any more. The government is all part of the same party. That makes it now the mainstream.

It's the ONLY commercial news/talk game in town, pal.

And I'll STILL take WBFO for my news. Partly because their audience doesn't consist of-for the most part-old people with one foot in the grave and the other just waiting to jump in. That, and people looking for the latest OUTRAGE!

Nice try, but no. The reason that WBEN is the #2 radio station, is because the Lamestream media consisting of television (ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC), newspapers (Buffalo Daily Rag, NY Times, Washington Post), and radio (NPR and WBFO) don't consist of any logical or reasonable alternatives to the lies spewed by these outlets. FOX news, maybe certain shows, but no. All of these lies were created to try to advance their agenda. There was never a 90% chance Clinton would win. There was never a 99.9% chance Clinton would win. THEY, these lamestream media outlets, created that false narrative.

If those are all mainstream media outlets, then WBEN by definition would not be since they didn't take part in this. They had shows for hours and hours every day denying this 90% figure and either stated it would be close (50%) or Bauerle specifically said about 65% Clinton.

You don't understand what they were saying. They were quoting polls. Polls are not votes. Hearing poll reports that Clinton was winning motivated Trump supporters to vote. That's what happened. So in truth, Trump supporters should be thanking those polls, because his supporters were so worried about Clinton winning that they turned out in huge numbers. Meanwhile, all the people who promised to vote for Clinton stayed home. If you read the articles where they predicted 90% chance, they all say what it would take for it not to happen. And that's exactly what happened.

Read the second paragraph in this article: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-poll-idUSKBN1322J1 It clearly says that for Trump to win, "Trump needs higher turnout among Republican white voters than that which materialized in 2012, a drop-off in ballots by African-American voters and a smaller-than-predicted increase in Hispanic voters." That's exactly what happened. Plus he received a higher percentage of women than expected. So the narrative wasn't false. You only read the headline.

Dude...Commercial radio IS the mainstream. Public and non commercial radio are not considered the mainstream media. WBEN is TRYING to programme to the largest audience possible, like all commercial stations. I suggest you look in a dictionary to see the definition of mainstream.
